Dead average on so many levels-- certainly identifiable as chocolate milk but aside from a slightly drying finish, there's not much else to point out. It is what you think it is, and if uninspired chocolate milk is your thing, give this your full attention.
Delicious mix of chocolate and malt with a creamy body that is certainly up to the task of delivering and sustaining the flavors. I can't distinguish the flavor from the former (non-A2) chocolate milk-- it's equally indulgent and rewarding.
Chalky and metallic, with a lasting vitamin-y aftertaste. It's fairly thin and has a surprising salty quality which works to its advantage. I've had much worse in this category, but this drinks like a junior varsity port of Ensure. Not recommended for recreational use.
Smoothly subtle flavor that starts mildly malty and ends with a coconutty cameo which fades in gracefully and fades out before you're ready for the exit. It's a very unique flavor combination, and pulled off fairly deftly, though it leaves you wanting a bit more punch. Texture-wise, it finishes with a drying, astringent quality easily remedied by taking another sip...that is, until there's no more left.
Gorgeous representation of my favorite flavor combination. Sweet and chocolaty up front, with a lasting peanut buttery burn that ages more gracefully than Helen Mirren. I'm not sure I'll be able to say the same for myself after I drink this whole bottle in an afternoon. Drinkable dessert, what more could you want?
Noticeably more lithe than the chocolate milk, and delivers a truly accurate and not cartoonish cookies and cream flavor. It has me longing for bits of Oreo solute and the underratedly fun 'panning for gold' process of oral sieving (?). Definitely one of the best CnC versions I've reviewed, and a worthwhile extension of the River Bottom Dairy portfolio.
Intensely bright cocoa flavor backed by a full-bodied creamy base and sweetness that is more than up to the challenge. Knocks it out of the park for what most people would easily consider the best chocolate milk they've ever had. Parallels to melted chocolate ice cream are often made, but rarely substantiated; but in this case, it certainly applies.
Beefy frame, plenty sweet, and an exciting 'wild' side-- yes, chicks will dig this, but so will anyone else lucky enough to try it. It's chocolaty up front, sweet through the middle, and finishes with a wild, grassy note that ties everything together and whets your appetite for more. In a world where novelty in chocolate milk is sometimes challenging to find, this brings a dropkick of indulgence followed by a blinding ray of hope for those paying close attention.
Same decadently sweet and chocolaty flavor that I've come to expect (and love) from Hart Dairy. Make no mistake about it-- it's…'full figured'-- and I will be too if I have this on a daily basis. If you're in the market for drinkable indulgence, this is recommended pursuit.
I'm genuinely embarrassed by my low expectations-- this is an outstanding port of the traditional Oberweis 2% chocolate milk. Particularly impressive is the no-sugar-added (allulose/stevia) finesse, executed so deftly that you have to try hard to notice the difference. For all the times I've been beat mercilessly over the head by the Stevia or Monk Fruit sledgehammer-- I had assumed that using these ingredients were a lost cause; an automatic palate destroyer. Not anymore. Oberweis figured out just the right levels to deliver a relatively low calorie, low sugar, high caliber chocolate milk experience worthy of your time, especially for those seeking these 'better for you' or lactose free features. It can be done. They cracked the code. I like this stuff.
Much flatter than its lighter counterpart, the sledgehammer of fake sweetness is significantly mitigated here-- allowing for some actual cocoa flavor to poke through. There's still an issue with the chalky / drying texture here but that's not terribly uncommon among protein-fortified drinks. A clear winner among the Slate portfolio, but still won't compare favorably to even the most average of chocolate milks.
Smooth, but egregiously bland. There's not much point to drinking this, unless your tongue is on fire-- and in that case, you have bigger problems than flavorless chocolate milk.
Overpowering faux take-your-medicine-esque sweetness with little relief to follow. You're left with an unnatural aftertaste and drying residue-- no semblance of chocolate or milk to be found. The label recommends you to 'shamelessly chug away'-- and I agree, as you'll want to limit the amount of tastebud contact as best you can.
Sweet and chocolaty right off the bat, but hampered by a resounding UHT-twang that is not 'exactly' like, but adjacent to, a fake-butter flavor (compared to a real butter flavor). This quality persists into the aftertaste, and is distractingly unique, but at least memorable.
Shockingly sweet upon first draw, aided in part by the thin viscosity-- which delivers a quick sugary rush with later-developing cocoa presence and moderately-drying chalky footprint. For an organic, shelf-stable, lactose free chocolate milk, it gets the job done and would add a crowning touch to the bog-standard bagged lunch.
Powerfully straightforward deliciousness-- this is a premium version of what we all expect great chocolate milk to be-- chocolaty, sweet, and densely flavorful. It nails all those beats, a true melted-chocolate-ice cream proxy, and is both indulgent and satisfying from beginning to end.
Paralyzingly creamy from initial contact through to blissful repose-- it has one of the most luxurious textures I've had the pleasure of experiencing to date, gilding any and all surfaces with buttery Jersey cream. Flavorwise, it leans more malty than overtly chocolaty. Its warm afterglow lasts minutes beyond the pint; I suspect that the impact on your soul will last significantly beyond that.
Solid cocoa focus with a pinch of salt at the end which accentuates the cream and nicely rounds off each sip. There's a spot of powderiness / chalk a couple seconds after the swallow but when not paired with a lingering funk, it's rather forgettable.
Delicious straightforward cocoa flavor with little distraction-- it drinks quickly and distributes naturally, with a somewhat fleeting aftertaste for creamline milk-- granted, the aftertaste that remains is a lightly dusty cocoa footprint that whets your appetite for more.
Sweet and really nothing else. There's no way anyone would identify this as 'chocolate' if blindfolded. A syrupy vanilla flavor is really the only standout flavor characteristic, and the texture is smooth and milky-adjacent, but not quite there either.
